Oh, no doubt. Reel to reel is the ultimate analog media.

Incorrect. I have three NAD 6300s and a Nakamichi Dragon, and with metal tapes it’s transparent to digital. Shit even good type II nearly transparent. Tapes do not sound “dogshit”. Unlike vinyl, you can easily experiment with the many varieties of tape out there and master your own cassette recordings. It’s like rolling tubes in an analog amplifier. Yes, it’s not perfectly transparent to digital on a cheap type I tape, but the warmth of a high end type I rounds off some of the harshness of modern tracks. YMMV, it’s not for everyone, but I think it’s pretty fucking cool.

Cassettes are making a comeback much like vinyl but to a lesser extent. I’ve got 800 or so cassettes and probably 3/4 of them were made in the past 6 years.

Really? I thought it was what was filmed. Not to be that guy but… source?

Elaborate on “fake.” It’s the same studio who made both.

swap.avi - when you realize 2girls1cup is just a trailer for a full length video from the same studio

Don’t forget HAI2U, or Mr Hands.
Shock site pranks via disguised links was the best possible anti-phishing training one could receive as a teenager. Bring that shit back.

It’s still the top ranking shock site to me, never been eclipsed.

You really should look it up, because of the OG shock sites, cakefarts is the funniest.

If taking a shit is leaving a shit, is leaving a shit, taking a shit?

Triatoma infestans is the primary vector for Chagas’ disease, but it can be transmitted by other triatomines. Fun fact, they shit on your face and the infection comes from you rubbing their infected shit into the fresh open wound. It’s not from the bite itself.

I mean, it doesn’t really follow given the context. Nobody is talking about the visual sense, they’re talking about humanizing AI, which isn’t paredolia.

Paredolia just means seeing patterns that aren’t there, it’s not implicitly human. If you see a dog in the clouds, that’s paredolia.

An abdominal aortic junctional tourniquet stops bleeding to any lower extremity or groin injury by cutting off the abdominal aorta.

Yes you can, these tourniquets already exist

I’d like to point out that grilling and barbecue are different things. Most guys do not barbecue. Grilling is extremely common, though.

I’ve had about 275 BTC pass through my wallets throughout the years. I actually used it. My friend who was “too stupid” to use it still has 2 of them from the $10 BTC era.
Never saw it as an investment, just something to help me get acid in the mail.
- Comment on ‘Manfluencers’ are filming themselves trying to pick up women using smart glasses 5 weeks ago:
I recently re-entered the dating pool for the first time in a decade and it’s incredible how much attention I get from just appearing clean, having my shit together, and not posting a picture with me holding a fish. Never got so much attention from women before in my life. Had a date in like one week.
The bar is very, very low. I am sorry, ladies out there.
- Comment on New Objective: Convince an astronaut to use the Fediverse from space 5 weeks ago:
Radio is the OG fediverse and I want to promote decentralization and self-sufficiency. Amateur radio is a lot easier and more accessible than you might think.

No worries! It’s a cool hobby. Getting licensed was a bucket list item, as nerdy as that sounds. Still gotta learn Morse code but I hope to one of these days. Seeing some old heads tapping away at a local HAM event was pretty damn cool.
- Comment on New Objective: Convince an astronaut to use the Fediverse from space 1 month ago:
I did - I’ve got my general license.

Honestly I’ve been doing this for like 2 years now and I’ve not really keyed up and transmitted in the amateur radio sense, just GMRS walkie talkie stuff with the homies. Still, it’s super cool being able to listen. Picking up satcom stuff is just neat. I also take it to the airport and listen to the pilots talk with tower/ground crew.
One of these days I’ll transmit for real, but I have no problem following the “LURK MOAR” guideline as applied to amateur radio as I learn the culture.
